Friday: buy new dress shoes for myself - dd is going to a friends house but is taking a uber - I don't like that at all. that neighbourhood is not great and a girl parking by herself there is dangerous so I understand parking near her sweet aunts house but the uber makes me uncomfortable especially a girl on her own

December 8 brother came over for insurance 1/2 christmas decorations up - tossed 3 houses and a couple other things as they broke when I dropped them

I realized the photo thing is made harder because I think I expect my dd younger to take over and I keep putting off learning how to do this computer work - not fair to her as it is my project. I know I am capable but lazy regarding this project. People keep on giving me pictures so I have to come up with a better solution. I am thinking big but need to whittle down.

future dates: 17 family gathering (it will be a year for sweet d mil) the grief is horrible. I know one has to go through it and somehow continue living well but it still is not easy and one never forgets.

This week February 12 to 18 is d harriets storage area plans and for me that means going back to that upstairs closet - right now I have photo bins everywhere - upstairs hall way, back room etc. I haven't had time to dejunk it this week.

I also missed my weekly home blessing, my bathroom day, my focus of the laundry room this week or any laundry room weeklies, I am very frustrated by this week as no matter how hard I worked I couldn't catch up - but I have to let that go and let the system work for me. Move it forward to it's usual day.

I also have to plan learning and physical fun out of doors. I feel overwhelmed but I have to let it go. Sometimes I just can't do it. I will say I did make nice dinners all week and cleaned up after each one each night. I also had lots of paperwork and I got that done.

This week I need my bwp because I am going to be out of the house a couple days of the week for a while

this week is our Kitchen Focus (I love checking our d harriet's calendar to make sure I do at least one thing in the area we are in) (I still have to pull the cards on that)

I start a major project this week: take the wall paper off the bottom of the front room walls - goal in the next month: paint, furniture, fix windows etc. I want to redo the whole thing but d family and our finances I will have to stay with what I had for the last 20 years but now cleaned up
